3 Days Zanzibar – Serengeti & Ngorongoro Safari

This short yet unforgettable safari is designed for travelers who wish to combine the turquoise waters of Zanzibar with the thrilling wilderness of Tanzania’s most iconic parks. Starting with a direct flight from Zanzibar into the Serengeti, you will dive straight into one of the richest wildlife ecosystems on earth. Explore the sweeping plains home to lions, elephants, leopards, and endless herds of wildebeest. Then journey onward to the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site often referred to as “Africa’s Garden of Eden,” where the Big Five roam against a dramatic volcanic backdrop. The trip concludes with a drive back to Arusha before your return flight to Zanzibar.
